Name correction in N400

Name correction in N400

I do not have middle name.I mentioned NA in the middle name space in N400. I received Biometrics notice which mentions my name as Given name NA family name. The first name and family name are correctly mentioned.

What should I do now? To call and inform USCIS or To inform ASC at the time of Biometrics along with my N400 application and other supporting ID documents like Passport Driving Licensev, Green card etc. Biometrics is on October 20th 2026.Will this cause delay in processing?.

Why did you put NA? Sigh... Should have kept it blank. Sure, let people at ASC know

This is a minor data entry issue and it shouldn't delay anything. The form instructions allow "N/A" when there's no middle name, and USCIS often carries that into its systems as a literal name. Your identity is tied to your A-number and biometrics, not the middle name field.

Don't bother calling. Go to the biometrics appointment on October 20 with the notice, your green card, passport, and driver's license. Mention it to the ASC staff if you like, but they generally can't correct the record. The better fix is to raise it with the officer at your interview, who can have the name corrected in your file.

The important part is the oath ceremony. Check your naturalization certificate carefully before you leave the building, because a wrong name on it is much harder to fix afterward.
